Fox News reporting

Someone has been shot either at or near a school in Lancaster County PA. Reports of hostages taken and there have been 12 ambulances and 4 medical helicopters dispatched to the scene and a triage(sp?) center setup on a ballfield.

Police confirming nothing, all reports unconfirmed.
 
My local noon news just did a flash on this. Not much info only that it sounds like a hostage situation.
 
Good God will it ever end? I wish these :cuss: would just go out into the woods, and blast themselves. Why do they need to take others down with them? I am sure this post will soon turn into one about how teachers need to be armed. Remember elections is comming, and all the recent school shootings will be fuel for the antis fires.

Hostage Situation in Lancaster County



Monday, October 2, 12:09 p.m.

Police have responded to reports of a hostage situation and multiple people shot in eastern Lancaster County.


The scene is along the 4800 block of Mine Road near Paradise Township.

According to WGAL.COM, the situation does not involve the Faith Mennonite School or Bart-Colerain Elementary, which are near the scene.

Emergency crews are on the scene.
 
AP now reporting that the State Police are reporting that at least 12 have been shot, and there are "multiple" dead. Hostage situation resolved shooter was shot and killed.
 
Why would anyone shoot up an Amish School?

Oh, never mind, I know....just about 100% guaranteed un-armed and defenseless.

Better question is probably why all the school shootings right now ? ? ?

Elections.


The first one is chance. The second is coincidence. The third time is enemy action. Or so I've read.
 
Police responded to a multiple shooting and hostage situation in eastern Lancaster County this morning at a small, one-room Amish schoolhouse, where a state police officials said "a number" of people were shot to death.


News 8 reporter Anne Shannon said people who were inside the scene told her that Lancaster County has never seen a tragedy like this.


"This is definitely an enormous scene," Shannon said.

The scene is along the 4800 block of Mine Road in Bart Township. Early reports indicate that man named Roy entered the schoolhouse this morning and started making threats. Some people in the Amish community learned about the situation and contacted police. Negotiations took place. But at some point, at least 10 shots were fired within the school. Police said the hostage taker shot himself.

Lancaster General Hospital has called in all available personnel. They have been told to be prepared for a large number of patients.

John Lines of Lancaster General Hospital said so far they have received three "pediatric" patients. One of them is reportedly in critical condition.

Hershey Medical Center in Dauphin County has also been warned that they might be receiving patients.

News 8 is stressing that the situation does not involve the Faith Mennonite School or Bart-Colerain Elementary, which are near the scene.

Agreed, overall it's a relatively new thing. But lately seems more and more popular. What gets me is that people that commit such acts(mass murder) are trying to make a statement. With these school shootings there never seesm to be a statement involved. It just seems to be killing kids for the sake of killing kids.
 
Everything is cyclic, some years a few scattered school shootings which are heavily reported in the media lead to an increasing amount of coppycat crimes. Alot of kids think about it, when they see someone actually live out the fantasy, some of them start making serious plans. We'll probably see a bunch more of them as we get closer to the end of the school year.
 
Seems like the police just love to kick down your door and storm in to your house, but when poor kids are taken hostage they stand around outside and negotiate. Then the guy kills several kids. What a shame. Perhaps the cops need to find some sort of technology that will allow them to make a quick entry and kill these dirtbags that keep killing our kids.
 
I understand New York state is trying to get a 20 minute detention for parents who bring their kids late to school.

If that bill passes, expect a lot more school shootings.

That'd be called more snipers with the requisitite expensive training and GOOD PAY, less tactical ninja stormtroopers.

More single headshots, less blowing holes in walls that don't work.
 
There was also an attempted school shooting in Las Vegas at around 9 this mornig, suspect still on the loose :mad:
